FOREWORD. 

Every  now  and  then  such  questions  as 
Semitism  or  Anti-Semitism  will  appear 
among  the  many  clouds  on  our  social  hori- 
zon, causing  a  few  more  ripples  on  the  po- 
litical surface  or  whip  into  greater  fury  the 
tempest  in  the  social  teapot.  The  recent 
**Ford  incident"  was  such  a  cloud.  Henry 
Ford  accused  certain  Jewish  financiers  of 
having  caused  and  promoted  the  war  for  the 
sake  of  reaping  profits,  supplementing  the 
** exposures"  of  the  London  Morning  Post 
which  resuscitated  the  so-called  ''Protocols 
of  the  Wise  Men  of  Zion,"  a  book  purport- 
ing to  be  an  exposure  of  a  Jewish  secret  so- 
ciety led  by  "Elders  of  Zion,"  who  suppos- 
edly dream  of  centering  world  power  in  the 
hands  of  Jews  through  the  issuing  of  so- 
called  "protocols."    It  has  been  sufficiently 

—  9  — 


proved  th^t  these  docunients  are  false,  but 
whether  they  are  true  or  false — both  sides 
are  vehementlj?^  championed — matters  little 
in  this  connection.  The  important  fact  is 
the  howl  of  indignation,  the  social  tempest, 
the  "printers'  ink  riot"  which  arose  all  over 
the  country  because  the  financiers  in  ques- 
tion were  Jews.  All  superficial  Jews,  Jews 
made  conceited  and  shallow  by  Gentile  the- 
ology, considered  it  incumbent  upon  them- 
selves to  rise  in  the  defense  of  Jewish  bank- 
ing interests.  Ford  was  denounced  as  a 
"traitor"  on  every  street  corner  and  hyster- 
ical Je\^^s  saw  visions  of  pogroms  on  the 
streets  of  New  York  City. 

It  is  in  the  analysis  of  such  outbursts  as 
the  recent  Ford  incident  that  this  essav  on 
** Anti-Semitism,"  written  in  1903  by  Dan- 
iel De  Leon,  will  prove  particularly  valu- 
able. Had  the  "Traveller  from  Mars"  been 
wandering  about  in  the  United  States  a  few 
months  ago  he  might  reasonably  have  con- 
cluded from  the  fury  with  which  the  mass 
of  Jews  rose  to  the  defense  of  the  Roths- 
childs that  every  Jew  in  the  United  States 

—  10  — 


was  a  war  profiteer — in  desire  at  least.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  same  Traveller  might 
well  have  been  excused  for  wondering  from 
what  source  Henry  Ford  drew  his  moral  in- 
dignation. Armed  with  this  little  booklet, 
the  ^'Traveller  from  Mars"  would  quickly 
have  realized  that  on  both  sides  it  was  just 
a  case  of  human  nature — common  stupidity, 
inborn  narrow  prejudice — kicking  over  the 
traces — that  is  all. 

THE  PUBLISHERS.

D 


he  New  York  International  Library- 
Publishing  Co.  has  brought  out  an 
English  translation,  from  the  French  origi- 
nal, of  Bernard  Lazare's  work,  **Anti- 
Semitism,  Its  History  and  Causes."  What 
with  the  recent*  Kishineff  butcheries  and 
the  literature — pro-Semitic,  anti-Semitic 
and  otherwise — that  these  butcheries  have 
given  rise  to,  the  Semitic  question  has  re- 
ceived fresh  impetus.  Bernard  Lazare's 
work  fits  in  with  such  setting. 

That  there  is  a  Semitic  Question  none 
will  deny.  Wherein,  however,  the  Question 
consists  is  in  itself  a  question  that  will  re- 
ceive different  answers.  Bernard  Lazare's 
work  is  not  valuable  for  the  answer  it  gives : 


♦This  was  written  in  July,  190vS. — Publishers. 

—  18  — 


in  fact,  the  answer  it  gives  follows  in  the 
main  the  beaten  and  false  path  of  philo- 
Semitism  in  general.  The  value  of  Bernard 
Lazare's  work  lies  in  the  mass  of  facts  that 
it  brings  together,  some  of  which  are  new, 
and  which,  indirectly  at  any  rate,  point  the 
way  to  the  correct  answer  to  what  may  be 
said  is  becoming  a  "Vexed  Question." 

Let  loose  upon  the  world  a  "Traveller 
from  Mars,"  or  anv  of  the  *Tnnocents"  that 
Voltaire  used  to  choose  in  his  criticisms  of 
men  and  things,  and  what  would  be  his  ex- 
perience? He  would  find  that,  every  time 
anyone  with  fact  and  argument  shows  that 
a  certain  Jew  is  conceited  or  superficial, 
forthwith  up  jumps  the  philo-Semite  and 
denounces  the  utterer  as  an  anti-Semite; 
every  time  anyone,  with  fact  and  argument, 
shows  that  a  certain  Jew  is  a  characterless 
worm,  up  jumps  the  philo-Semite  and 
denounces  the  utterer  as  an  anti-Semite; 
every  time  anyone,  with  fact  and  argument, 
shows  a  certain  Jew  to  be  double-faced  and 
a  swindler,  up  jumps  the  philo-Semite  and 
denounces  the  utterer  as  an  anti-Semite; 

-—14  — 


every  time  anyone,  with  fact  and  argument, 
shows  a  certain  Jew  to  be  physically  or  mor- 
ally  unclean,   or  a   coward,   forthwith  up 
jumps  the  philo-Semite  and  denounces  the 
utterer  as  anti-Semite.     The  latest  is  the 
most  remarkable  instance  of  the  sort:  The 
Russian  at  Washington,  having  said  that 
many  of  the  Kishineff  Jews  were  usurers, 
forthwith  up  jumped  a  Jewish  editor  of   a 
Jewish  paper  in  this  city,  Mr.  Kasriel  Sarah- 
son,  and  declared  that  such  words  were  *'an 
insult  to  the  10,000,000  Jews  of  the  world." 
What  conclusion,  from  such  an  experience, 
could  our  Traveller  from  Mars  arrive    at 
other  than  that  the  Jew^s  (Semites)  are  all 
conceited,     characterless     worms,     double- 
faced,  swindlers,  physically  and  morally  un- 
clean, cowards  and  usurers?     Seeing  that 
any  one   such  justifiable   charge,   brought 
against  a  concrete  Jew,  is  forthwith  pro- 
nounced **anti-Semitism,"  what  conclusion 
could  that  Traveller  arrive  at  but  that  Semit- 
ism  was  the  incarnation  of  all  these  vices,  a 
veritable  compound  of  vileness  ? — ^And  that 
opinion,  be  it  noted,  would  be  gathered  nol 

—  15  — 


/ 


from  the  "anti"  hut  from  the  "philo"  Sem- 
ites. 

Such  would  be  our  Traveller's  experi- 
ence on  one  side.  But  he  would  be  making 
other  experiences  simultaneously.  He  would 
make  the  experience  of  meeting  many  a 
Jew  without  anv  of  these  vices,  let  alone  all 
these  vices  together.  He  would  make  still 
further  experience.  He  would  meet  many 
a  Gentile  (non-Jew)  with  one  or  more  of 
these  vices  in  his  make-up  —  occasionally, 
all  of  them  together.  His  first  notion  as  to 
"Semitism"  thus  receives  a  violent  shock,  a 
shock  from  which  it  can  not  recover.  Pres- 
ently, however,  further  experience  gives  his 
original  notion  regarding  "Semitism"  a 
blow  that  knocks  it  out  wholly.  He  will 
experience  that,  probed  to  the  bottom,  no 
one  hates  the  Jew  as  such.  Probed  to  the 
bottom,  the  manifestations  of  Jew-hatred 
have  roots  wholly  free  from  the  Jews-idea 
and  absolutelv  alike  and  the  same  with  feel- 
ings  that  produce  hatred  or  opposition  be- 
tween non-Jews  and  non-Jews.  The  few 
instances  that  would  seem  at  first  blush  to 

—  16  — 


be  exceptions,  prove,  upon  closer  inspection, 
to  be  none  and  to  fall  under  the  general 
category.  There  ARE  Gentiles  who  DO 
bristle  up  at  the  word  Jew.  But  why  do 
they?  Their  conduct  is  no  other  than  that 
of  the  man  who  experiences  a  shiver  at  the 
bare  word  "horse,"  simply  because  the  word 
conjures  up  to  his  memorj^  some  sad  experi- 
ence made  with  some  horse.  Question  such 
a  man  and  it  becomes  clear  that  he  bears  no 
animosity  to  the  equine  race ;  even  if  he  did, 
his  experience  is  not  that  of  all  others,  and 
the  equine  race  continues  in  igood  repute. 
And  so  in  these  instances  of  Jew-hate.  At 
this  stage  of  the  inquiry  the  conclusion  is 
obvious — there  is  no  such  thing  as  anti- 
Semitism;  whatever  else  may  go  by  that 
name,  the  thing  itself  does  not  exist.  And 
the  conclusion  will  hold  good  to  the  end  of 
the  inquiry. 

What!  There  is  no  anti-Semitism?  Then, 
perchance,  there  is  no  Semitism,  either? 

From  the  most  orthodox  to  the  most 
*'liberar'  or  "reformed  Jew"  upholders  of 
Semitism  there  is  a  habit  of  resorting  to  a 

—  17  — 


theory,  variously  termed  by  them  the  **  Spir- 
it of  Judaism,"  the  "Message  of  Judaism," 
etc., — in  short,  a  principle  as  the  foundation 
or  feature  of  Semitism.  The  alleged  **prin- 
ciple,"  as  peculiar  to  Judaism,  will  not  stand 
inquiry  for  one  moment.  There  is  no  **prin- 
ciple,"  "spirit"  or  "message"  claimed  to  be 
Judaic,  and  however  exalted,  that  is  original 
with  Jewish  theology  or  creed.  They  were 
all  uttered  before ;  they  were  borrowed,  and 
in  many  instances  bodily  incorporated  by 
the  inspired  Prophets  and  Judges.  That 
the  upholders  of  "Semitism"  frequently 
base  their  "semitism"  upon  that  is  only  an 
evidence  that  they  realize  the  slipperiness  of 
the  ground  under  them.  Their  resort  to 
the  "Spirit"  or  "Message,"  etc.,  of  Judaism 
is  like  the  flutter  of  a  bird  that  knows  not  its 
own  bearings,  and  that  by  its  conduct  con- 
fuses the  hunter.  The  Question  of  Judaism, 
.  or  Semitism,  obviously  becoming  a  vexed 
Question,  is  only  rendered  confusing  by 
such  maneuvres — and  its  solution  put  oflf. 

In  order  to  get  at  the  bottom  of    the 
question  it  is  necessary  to  hold  the  uphold- 

18  — 


ers  of  **Semitism,"  the  believers  in  it,  closely 
to  their  own  premises.     It  is  at  this  point 
that  Bernard  Lazare's  work  becomes  of  ex- 
ceptional value  through  the  facts  that  it  puts 
together.     What  are  the  real  premises  of 
^'Semitism"?— The    SEED    OF    ABRA- 
HAM; in  other  words,  the  racial  unity  of 
the  Jew.    The  work  of  Bernard  Lazare  de- 
molishes   these    premises.      The    passages 
upon  this  head  read  like  De  Foe's  satire 
^*The  True-born  Englishman,"  which  called 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  alleged  Anglo- 
Saxon  was  dashed  and  doused  and  strained 
bv  all  the  races  of  civilization.    So  does  Ber- 
nard  Lazare  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
the  Jew  of  today  (Semite)  is  of  all  imagina- 
ble races,  and  Bernard  Lazare  backs  himself 
up  not  only  with  facts,  culled  from  modern 
history,  but  with  proverbs  from  orthodox 
Jewish  works  and  even  with  utterances  of 
such  Fathers  of  the  Jewish  Church  as  Mai- 
monides.    The  theory  of  the  '*seed  of  Abra- 
ham" is  proved  a  myth,  the  ethnical,  mate- 
Tial  basis   of   **Semitism"  is  shattered,  the 

—  19  — 


>ar 


groundwork  of  **Semitism"  is  taken  from 
under  it. 

Is  there,  then,  no  "Semitism"?  The 
fact  remains  that  there  IS  such  a  thing.  It 
is  a  solid  fact;  a  fact  that  can  be  weighed, 
measured  and  even  reduced  to  statistical 
tables.  What,  then,  is  its  feature  ?  Wherein 
does  it  consist?  Without  a  principle  or 
mission,  unique  and  born  from  its  own  spiri- 
tual womb,  and  without  a  unique,  exclusive 
ethnic  basis,  what  is  it  that  holds  the  thing 
together?  Such  an  apparition  is  phenome- 
nal; in  what  does  the  phenomenon  con- 
sist? 

Once  the  mind  is  cleared  of  perturbing 
causes ;  once  the  cobwebs  concerning  the  im- 
aginary * 'Message  of  Israel,"  and  concern- 
ing the  myth  of  the  "seed  of  Abraham" — 
the  alleged  body  and  the  alleged  soul,  so  to 
speak,  of  "Semitism" — are  brushed  aside, 
the  answer  sticks  out  clear  as  a  pike; — and 
the  answer  points  to  a  phenomenon,  indeed ; 
to  a  phenomenon  unique  in  the  history  of 
the  human  race ;  a  phenomenon  that  is  in  it- 
self a  compendium  of  psychology,  an  elec- 

—  20  — 


trie  light  on  vast  domains  in  the  philosophy 
of  history. 

The  answer  is:  THE  BASIS  OF  SEM- 
ITISM  IS  GENTILE  THEOLOGY.  In 
other  words :  Semitism  is  not  a  cause,  it  is  a 
result.  Let  Gentile  theology  drop,  and  the 
bottom  and  the  bonds  (m  which  Semitism 
stands  and  that  hold  it  together,  fall  out  and 
melt  awav,  and  Semitism  itself  is  dissolved. 
So  long  as  a  certain  book — a  collection  of 
sublime  ideas;  beastly  thoughts  and  acts; 
disjointed  and  jumbled  scraps  of  history; 
tatters  of  fiction ;  shreds  of  lyric  prose ;  poet- 
ry in  which  the  Jew  is  the  central  figure — 
is  held  up  as  sacred; — so  long  as  a  Jew  is 
made  a  God,  a  Jewess  the  "Mother  of  God,'' 
another  Jew  the  stepfather  of  God,  and 
whole  rafts  of  other  Jews  are  worshipped  as 
members'^of  a  nobility  that  surrounds  the 
throne  of  that  celestial  temporal  King — so 
long,  in  other  words,  as  the  Gentile  world 
predominantly  manufactures  itself  into  a 
debtor  to  another  set  of  folks  of  A  DEBT 
TOO  HUGE  AXD  CRUSHING  EVER 
TO  BE  REPAID,  just  so  long  will  there 

—  21  — 


« 


be  "anti-Semitism"  —  that  is,  manifesta- 
tions of  human  nature  that  has  no  love  for 
the  creditor  whose  account  is  non-cancela- 
ble ;  and  just  so  long  will  there  be  the  reflex 
of  *'anti-Semitism,"  to  wit,  ''Semitism,'* 
that  is,  that  other  manifestation  of  human 
nature  that  finds  a  morbid  delight  in  glory, 
even  if  its  halo  be  borrowed,  or  even  if,  at 
times,  the  halo  may  turn  into  a  thornj'^ 
crown. 

Numerous  are  the  instances  of  the  utter 
bewilderment  in  which  the  ruling  class  of 
modern  society,  together  with  their  "intel- 
lectuals," the  so-called  "leaders  of  thought," 
stand  before  the  perplexing  problems  of  the 
day.  Numerous  are  the  instances  in  which 
these  rulers  and  "intellectuals"  act  in  sight 
of  these  pressing  problems  the  way  the  man 
acts  who,  knowing  not  how  to  swim,  sud- 
denly falls  into  the  water.  The  first  thing 
Ee  does  is  the  last  thing  he  should.  He 
throws  up  his  hands  and  thus  aids  the  law 
of  gravitation  to  carry  him  under  water: — 

The  capitalist  social  system,  with  its  re- 
duction of  the  area  of  production,  brings  on 

—  22  — 


a  scarcity  of  food.  In  sight  of  short  rations 
for  many,  the  modern  "intellectuals"  con- 
elude  that  there  is  an  over-population,  and 
they  address  themselves  to  meet  the  phe- 
nomenon with  Malthusianism,  or  the  still 
more  insane  neo-Malthusianism,  whereas 
the  fact  is  that,  so  far  from  there  being  too 
many,  there  are  too  few  people  today  to 
produce  all  the  foodstuffs  that  are  procur- 
able, and  that  civilized  society  needs. — Mal- 
thusianism and  neo-Malthusianism  only  ag- 
gravate the  evil. 

The  capitalist  social  sj^-stem  lowers  ever 
more  the  earnings  of  the  Working  Class.  In 
sight  of  the  privation  of  the  workers,  due  to 
small  earnings,  the  modern  ^^intellectuals" 
of  the  Atkinson  type  conclude  that  the 
workers  are  not  "clever  enough  husband- 
ers,"  and  they  address  themselves  to  meet 
the  phenomenon  of  deepening  poverty  by 
training  the  workers  in  a  Chinese,  cheese- 
paring economy.  The  process  lowers  the 
standard  of  life ;  and  this,  operating  jointly 
with  the  law  of  value,  of  prices  and  of  wages 
(the  price  of  labor  power  in  the  labor  mar- 

—  23  — 


ket)  has  for  its  effect  to  lower  earnings  still 
more,  and  thereby  to  deepen  privation. 
This  method  likewise  accomplishes  the  exact 
opposite  of  what  it  sets  out  to  accomplish. 

The  capitalist  social  system,  with  the 
general  insecurity  that  it  generates  and  the 
general  shrinkage  of  the  field  for  economic 
independence,  smites  the  family  as  with  a 
flaming  sword.  The  result  is  that  directly 
and  indirectly  prostitution  is  fomented,  till 
it  assumes  the  rank  of  an  "inevitable  social 
institution."  Confronted  with  this  disgrace- 
ful sight,  bourgeois  "intellectuals"  address 
themselves  to  meeting  the  phenomenon  by 
cauterizing  the  gangrene  of  prostitution,  in- 
stead of  removing  the  cause,  and  thus  spread 
the  corruption  stealthily  through  the  arte- 
ries of  the  whole  body. — Here,  too,  the 
process  does  evil  and  no  good.  And  so  forth 
and  so  on. 

So  also  with  the  Jewish  or  Semitic 
Question.  Even  if  eveiy  Jew — man,  wom- 
an and  child — were  killed,  Semitism  would 
not  vanish.  The  idea  of  being  a  pre-selected 
and  sole  supplyer  of  Gods  and  their  pur- 

—  24  — 


1  "» 


suivants  is  too  fascinating  and  enticing  to 
some  minds  to  be  let  alone.  If  Gentile  the- 
ology continues,  even  in  case  of  such  whole- 
sale slaughter,  there  would  eventually  be 
gathered  from  the  ranks  of  the  Gentiles 
themselves  the  elements  that  would  again 
set  up  the  claim  of  '*Semitism/'  Such  a 
monstrous,  preposterous  conception  as  Gen- 
tile theology  breeds  *'Semitism"  as  inevita- 
bly as  a  cheese  breeds  maggots.  The  "intel- 
lectuals" of  the  bourgeois  world — Jew  and 
Gentile — are  addressing  themselves  to  the 
phenomenon  miscalled  "Semitism"  in  the 
same  irrational  manner  that  they  address 
themselves  to  the  other  phenomena  just 
mentioned,  and  to  so  many  others  of  kindred 
nature.  They  attack  the  evil  in  a  way  that 
intensifies  it:  they  strain  to  remove  the  "ob- 
jectionable features  of  Semitism"  (a  result) , 
while  they  keep  alive  the  cause  (anti-Sem- 
itism, i.  e..  Gentile  theology) . 

Nor  can  it  be  otherwise.  Socialism,  with 
the  light  it  casts  around  and  within  man, 
alone  can  cope  with  these  problems.  Like 
the  sea  that  takes  up  in  its  bosom  and  dis- 

—  25  — 


solves  the  innumerable  elements  poured 
into  it  from  innumerable  rivers,  to  Socialism 
is  the  task  reserved  of  solving  one  and  all 
the  problems  that  have  come  floating  down 
the  streams  of  time,  and  that  have  kept  man 
in  internecine  strife  with  man.

Woman 

under 

Socialism 


Translated  from  the 
Original  German  of  the  33rd  Edition  of  August  Bebel 

By  DANIEL  DE  LEON. 

The  complete  emancipation  of  woman,  and  her  com- 
plete equality  with  man  is  the  final  goal  of  our  social 
development,  whose  realization  no  power  on  earth 
can  prevent; — and  this  realization  is. possible  only  by 
a  social  change  that  shall  abolish  the  rule  of  man  over 
man — hence  also  of  capitalists  over  workingmen. 
Only  then  will  the  human  race  reach  its  highest  de- 
velopment. The  '^Golden  Age'*  that  man  has  been 
dreaming  of  for  thousands  of  years,  and  after  which 
they  have  been  longing,  will  have  come  at  last.  Class 
rule  will  have  reached  its  end  for  all  time,  and  along 
with  it,  the  rule  of  man  over  woman.

"With  a  majestic  historic  setting,  draped 
in  poetic  elegance,  and  planted  upon  a 
pedestal  df  golden  maxims  that  converge 
upwards,  and  illumine  the  principle  itself, 
"Fianz  von  Sickingen'  raises  in  thrilling  yet 
statuesque  solemnity  the  principle — not 
merely  to  have  a  purpose  firm,  but  also 
dare  to  make  it  known." — DE  LEON,
